Raymond C. Goertz was an early pioneer in the field of robotics, specifically remote-controlled robots (see telepresence). In 1949, while working for the Atomic Energy Commission at Argonne National Laboratory, he filed a patent for an early master-slave manipulator (U.S. Patent 2,632,574) in order to handle radioactive material.[1] [2][3][4]
In 1985 the American Nuclear Society established the 'Ray Goertz Award' to recognize and honor members who have made outstanding contributions to the field of remote technology.[5]
